2018 College tours for parents and students will commence in Term 1 and conclude in mid Term 2 (dates will be listed on tours flyer and website); they will be conducted by the college assistant principals from 9:15am–10:30am.

School Neighbourhood Map

The Department of Education and Training (DET) has adjusted the Vermont Secondary College neighbourhood in line with a state-wide review that has standardised all processes and documents across all DET regions.

It is important to note that some homes that were previously in the Vermont Secondary College neighbourhood now fall outside it, and vice versa.

This map shows the revised Vermont Secondary College neighbourhood, correct at the time of publishing.

Families, especially those living close to or on the boundary, should contact the college Registrar, Ms Sherryn Davies, to verify their 'in neighbourhood' status, as the neighbourhood boundary line dissects many streets and properties.

Please note that Vermont Secondary College has an enrolment restriction due to site capacity issues.

Year 6 to Year 7 Enrolment

All applications for Year 7 enrolment at a government secondary school are subject to the following principles:

To provide each child with the right to a place in the designated neighbourhood school

Wherever practical to provide parents/guardians with the opportunity to enroll their child at the same school as that being attended by an older sibling who resides at the same permanent address

To allow parent/guardians not wishing to send their child to the designated neighbourhood school to select any other school in which space is available

To contain enrolments in each secondary school within the limits of resource as determined by the Regional Director

If Vermont Secondary College is your designated neighbourhood school, we ask you to forward directly to the college the following documents:

Parents/guardians have the right to apply to any other school which is not their designated neighbourhood government school. If uncertain, families should seek clarification regarding their neighbourhood status from the college or their child's primary school.

All requests from parents living outside the specific designated neighbourhood zone will be considered by the principal at each government secondary school. It must be noted however, that all placements are subject to the availability of accommodation at a particular school.

Where there is insufficient accommodation at a school for all students who seek entry, students are enrolled in the following priority order:

Students for whom the school is the designated neighbourhood government school

Students with a sibling at the same permanent residence who are attending the school at the same time

Where the regional director has restricted the enrolment, students who reside nearest the school

Students seeking enrolment on specific curriculum grounds

All of the students in order of closeness of their home to school

In exceptional circumstances, compassionate grounds

There are many things to consider ensuring the school is the best fit for your child's learning and development, such as location, enrolment availability, curriculum focus, facilities and extra curricula activities. When considering which school would be more likely to suit your child's educational needs, you may also wish to discuss the matter with your child's Year 6 teacher or primary school principal who will be able to provide personalised and customised advice. You should also take the time to visit secondary school open days, participate in school tours and attend information nights.

The DET/NEVR Year 6 to Year 7 'Application for Year 7 Placement' form is to be returned to your child's primary school.
